Red Skirts with Bodice

Likely a wedding dress, made in the first half of the 19th century in Telemark.

The bodice is made of red velvet, edged in green velvet and silk ribbons. Between where the skirts and bodice connect, there are two rows of green Vadmel.

The red wool skirt is cartridge pleated, and flattens and splits in the front. The edge consists of 6 fabric stripes: 2 green wool, 1 beige striped, 1 orange wool, 1 lighter green, 1 red canvas.

There is a strong black wool edge on the inside, likely for supporting the hem shape and protecting the hem from damage and dirt.

There has been some conservation work done, mainly the red supportive skirt sewn to the inside and some hole repairs.

i'm still obsessed with this apron. the beading, the embroidery, the gorgeous wool damasque, and the back of the embroidery have me drooling.

Gilded silver in 5 plates, connected by spears going through hinges on each side of the plates. All around the bottom there are holes so the crown can be sewn onto a Valk, which is a supportive under- headdress.

Likely made between 1700- 1750, at an unknown place in Norway.
